Sharing rides could drastically improve the efficiency of car and taxi transportation. Unleashing such potential, however, requires understanding how urban parameters affect the fraction of individual trips that can be shared, a quantity that we call shareability. Using data on millions of taxi trips in New York City, San Francisco, Singapore, and Vienna, we compute the shareability curves for ...

Due to the drastic digitalization, public transportation industry has transformed its service strategies by introducing a mobile application-based taxi system. Mobile Taxi Booking (MTB) Apps have become very popular in Sri Lanka due abundance of smartphones. The study attempted examine customer intention use online Taxi-Booking App’s referred Theory Planned Behavior research context. descriptiv...

With a predicted year on year increase in the number of flights [5], increasing attention will need to be paid to the environmental effects of air transportation, in addition to an increasing focus upon maintaining and improving on-time performance at airports [3]. These challenges will face both airlines and airports in the near future and improved taxi time predictions (which is the aim of th...

1.0 ABSTRACT A suite of cockpit navigation displays for low-visibility taxi operations was developed by researchers at NASA Ames Research Center. The displays, called the Taxiway Navigation and Situation Awareness (T-NASA) system, were created using a humancentered design and evaluation approach that involved over 300 commercial pilots participating in part-task simulations, high-fidelity simul...

Discrete choice experiments have been widely applied to elicit behavioral preferences in the literature. In many of these experiments, the alternatives are named alternatives, meaning that they are naturally associated with specific names. For example, in a mode choice study, the alternatives can be associated with names such as car, taxi, bus, and subway. A fundamental issue that arises in sta...

air quality inside commuting vehicles has seldom been evaluated in iran. accordingly, this study investigates the levels of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (btex) during workdays characterized by heavy traffic inside taxis in tehran- iran between may 2009 and october 2010. the totals of 35 personal samples were collected onto solid sorbent tubes and the concentration of volatile organ...

Advances in technology equip tra c domain with instruments to gather and analyze data for safe and fuele cient traveling. This article elaborates on the e↵ects from taxi drivers route selection on fuel e ciency. We fuse real driving behavior data from taxi cabs, weather, and digital map information for fuel consumption prediction. That way we compare actually driven trips and their quickest and...

In this paper we present an optimisation model for airport taxi scheduling. We introduce a mixed-integer programming formulation to represent the movement of aircraft on the surface of the airport. In the optimal schedule delays due to taxi conflicts are minimised. We discuss implementation issues for solving this optimisation problem. Numerical results with real data of Amsterdam Airport Schip...

Battery operated electric vehicles (BEVs) offer the opportunity of running a zero-emission car fleet. However, due to their current range constraints, electric vehicle operations are mainly attractive for inner-city transport, such as the taxi business. This paper is bringing together facts and assumptions about Berlin’s taxi transport and the current conditions of BEVs in Germany to provide th...
